2002 Citroen Berlingo forte from UK and Ireland - Comments

I own a 2002 Berlingo. Just before Christmas 2004 the front off side suspension spring broke puncturing the tyre in the process. This occurred fortunately whilst the car was stationary. Citroen fully accepted that this was due to a fault in the manufacture of the springs. The spring was replaced and I was sent on my way. About six months ago I got a recall from Citroen to have some cups fitted to the top of the suspension. The work was carried out. Today 01/02/2006 the same spring has snapped again has any body else had similar problems. This could prove disastrous if the car was moving.

After 5,000 miles, I had to have Citroen Assist out to my 2004 2.0HDi Berlingo when it started to clank/rattle from under the engine. They tightened the engine stabiliser mounting and that permanently cured it.

Near side front spring failed on my berlingo yesterday before cups fitted. taken it to dealer who agreed to fit cups, but may charge for replacing spring. My impression is that the fault is with the spring, the fitting of the cup merely ameliorates the effects of spring breakage. Hopefully the will agree to replace springs, but I am not holding my breath, any advice would be welcome.
